Glasgow Green

Glasgow Green is a park located on the north bank of the Clyde River. There are numerous walking paths, viewing platforms and sports fields. You can also see several monuments here, including Nelson Monument - 44 m high obelisk, suspension bridge St. Andrew's Suspension Bridge and two nineteenth-century fountains. There is also People's Palace, which now houses a museum and greenhouses. The historic manufactory building known as the Templeton Factory is also nearby

Glasgow Green was founded in the 15th century, which makes them the oldest park in the city. In 1450, King James II granted this land to Bishop William Turnbull and the people of Glasgow. Initially, the park served a variety of purposes, including grazing farm animals, linen was washed and bleached, fishing nets were dried and river was swimming.

In April 1872, a large outdoor suffragette rally was held in the park. From that time until the early 1920s, suffragists met here regularly.
